Attack on Titan Themed Game

Help and Feedback Game Design Support
#1

For the past month or so, I’ve been teaching myself ZBrush, Blender and SubstancePainter for the purpose of making a game themed from the popular show, “Attack on Titan”.

However. before devoting any time into such a project-- I want to ask a few questions about the “acceptability” of the game to Roblox TOS.

Here are some game design features that I intend to implement:

  1. Sculpted 3D Titan meshes that will be imported into the game.
  2. Fully rigged models, utilizing the Skinned Mesh feature.

Now, anyone familiar with the show itself knows the somewhat revealing nature of the titans. They have no clothes, but at the same time- lack any inappropriate “parts”. Essentially, it’s just skin with faint sexual features.

I took a look at the Roblox Community Rules, and this excerpt seems to touch on what I am asking:

Sexual content or acts, sexual violence, exploitation of any kind, or excessive violence. This includes such content whether or not nudity is involved and whether or not it would rise to the level of being obscene, vulgar, pornographic or being explicit; and
Content that implies or makes an avatar appear naked or in underwear/undergarments.

Yet, this is still to vague. The titans in the show are not sexual in any way, and barely if at all exhibit any sexual physical traits.
Take, for example the “Female Titan” (Picture Below):

There isn’t anything inherently graphic about her design, other than the faint outlining of the breast area, which is already prevalent in many Roblox avatars:

As you can see, this image clearly shows a faint outline in the features of the avatar, but nothing too concerning as they are clothed. The only difference in the Female Titan is the lack of any human clothing. However, once again- the Female Titan lacks any graphic physical features- so arguing that it is too “obscene” or “graphic” isn’t definite.

Regardless, I simply would like to know whether her design, and possibly many other titan designs would be allowed. I’ve heard conflicting opinions from people, some saying yes and others not.

I don’t think you can use this image especially because it is in black and white and it is not clear if he is wearing clothes or not.

I’d say steer away from models with a level of accuracy close to that of the anime, as I have seen many AoT games on Roblox that get away perfectly fine with blocky titans, however if you are dead set on going with anime-accurate titan appearances then I would suggest instead contacting customer support to ask whether or not it would be allowed, showing a model of the titan you made or just the images shown here and asking if something relatively close to that kind of an appearance would be ok or not. (Asking customer support would probably be the best option anyway)

I explained in the topic what the Female Titan is, and no— it is simply a flesh creature with some armor plating. Therefore it is an appropriate image since it doesn’t depict anything indicative or sexual.

This appears to be the safest route to go, thanks!

Do you happen to know where I can contact someone about this? I’m facing the exact same problem right now.

It might’ve been a better idea to send me a DM instead of reviving a thread from several months ago, but as I said in my original reply there, the best person to contact would be roblox’s Customer Support via their support form. Besides this, I do not know anywhere else you could go to find out more about this.

General advice would be to shy away from going too realistic with it, as I’ve seen many attack on titan games that get away with something like the female titan designed in a simplistic art style. I still think that going to customer support would be the best choice since it is safe to assume their input on whether or not it would be allowed is accurate.
